What We Cannot Help With

While we aim to be a comprehensive information hub, it's important to understand the scope of our services. We are an informational platform and do not provide the following:

1. Direct Emergency Response: We are not an emergency service. In case of an accident, breakdown, or medical emergency, you must contact local emergency services directly (e.g., 112 for general European emergencies, 133 for Police, 144 for Ambulance, 122 for Fire Brigade in Austria).
2. Vignette or Toll Sales/Refunds: We do not sell vignettes or process toll payments or refunds. Our information guides you on where and how to purchase these directly from official providers.
3. Legal Advice or Representation: We cannot offer legal counsel regarding traffic violations, accidents, or other legal matters. For such issues, please consult a qualified legal professional.
4. Vehicle Breakdown & Recovery Services: We do not offer roadside assistance, vehicle repair, or recovery services. For these, you would need to contact a local motoring club (e.g., ÖAMTC, ARBÖ) or your insurance provider.

Our purpose is to empower you with knowledge, enabling you to make informed decisions and act appropriately when travelling on Austrian motorways.
